No, political hacks will never stop talking about racism as long as they can get any advantage out of it and they will always get some advantage out of it among gullible people. Notice how many black people think just what Rev. Wright said, that the government invented HIV as a racist plot to kill black people, no matter how many white people have died of AIDS. Notice how many black people believe that the federal government through the CIA imported crack cocaine into black slums, no matter how hard the DEA tried to keep it out.

I once worked with a black woman who said that in her opinion President Kennedy didn’t die in 1963 but lived on in a coma for several years until Jackie Kennedy ordered him disconnected from life support so she could marry Arisotle Onaissis. I asked her what evidence she had for this. She admitted she had none at all. Why, then, I asked, did she believe it? She said she believed it because it was her opinion. Don’t expect a woman like that to question any accusation of racism however groundless. She will accept it as unquestionably true because it’s her opinion.
